About a week ago, a very old artwork of mine popped up on my timeline...11 years old in fact. The image was from a small series I made displaying the various times of the day over the ocean. All were created entirely within photoshop using the cloud filter, and some stock images I found online. Perhaps not bad for a 15 year old in 2007...but very difficult to look at nowadays.
I thought it'd be fun to recreate the nighttime image using my current skillset...entirely in 3D. All assets created using Maya (rendered with Arnold), Substance Painter, Nuke, and Photoshop.
Maybe it'd be fun to recreate the rest if I can find the time. XD
Special thanks to my friend Cameron for his annoyingly helpful suggestions.
